Week of September 10th-16th 2018

We had a Joint Session with our friends at Short’s Brewing in Bellaire, Mich. to create this smooth and drinkable 4.6% ABV West by Midwest Ale. With some passion fruit juice added for that pleasant summery-ness and rounded off with a special zing of lemongrass, it’s best imbibed with your ‘buds … it’s good to have friends.

– Alpine Beer Company Nelson

(Available In 6pk Bottles & On Draft)

– IPA

– ABV: 7% -IBUs: 40

Named after Nelson Sauvin, an outstanding hop varietal from New Zealand. The hop is introduced through the brewing and dry-hopping of this complex and well-balanced IPA. A hazy straw hued ale, Nelson is topped by bright white beer foam and offers a tropical hop aroma. The pine and fruity hop notes linger, but are well-balanced by the smooth, malty addition of European rye malts. Enjoy this stunning and multifaceted, yet mellow IPA.

– Ballast Point Grunion

(Available in 6pk Cans)

– Pale Ale

– ABV: 5.5% -IBUs: 35

Our Grunion Pale Ale wasn’t born on a beach, but in a backyard. Originating from an employee-only home brew contest, this award-winning hoppy pale ale is named after the tiny local fish known for late night frolics on shore. A pair of new hop varieties lend strong yet balanced summer melon aromas and herbal flavors, while a soft caramel malt sweetness holds it all together.

– Ballast Point Spruce Tip Sculpin IPA

(Available On Draft)

– IPA

– ABV: 7%

Our flagship Sculpin IPA shows its complexity in this limited Spruce Tip edition. For a different twist on our traditional IPA, we added fresh Oregon spruce tips that contribute a unique piney, citrus and woody character on the nose. Plus. their flavor notes of red berry, lemon and wine grapes perfectly complement our hop profile. A great brew for the holidays and well beyond, this is a standout in a forest of IPAs.
